Such a Joke!

This keeps popping up as an ad, like most ads ignored it until I noticed, how does the driver get in?
Then I read the ad, and with a closer look I saw the Chevy emblem for this Dodge Ram.    

This is a retro look of a failed product, all because of the bone jarring ride in the 60s.
I can't remember who built these, but I do remember bouncing while sitting over the front wheels.

Where's the engine? Or is there a hole in the floor for your feet to power it?     Must be like some of the old "good time" vans of the 70's where the engine sat just forward/between the driver and passenger. Had a cover over it, but was noisy and hot.

DOH!
    
Flintstones?
I just remembered, a friend gave me a white 69 Ford panel van when I had my gyms, it had a crushed front right fender, not bad, but I had it repaired, kept it for a month, then sold it after fixing it at profit.

I can't believe I forgot that, but like you said, it was noisy and hot, but the ride so bad that one would make one almost seasick.
But no doubt, it had better access and more room that this thing.

It may have been hot, noisy, bumpy BUT! we had good music to listen to, country and rock.     


I sure miss my 8 track. Hell for the past five years they don't even put in cd players anymore. Thinking about putting duels on the truck, flow masters ought to sound pretty good with the 392 pushing co2 threw them.         Lord knows I can not find a decent radio station to listen to.

Which raises another question as to why Soros Fund Management has bought $400 million of debt in the Audacy radio chain.
I don't even listen to talk radio anymore, not since Rush died, and I certainly don't listen to FM considering all there is, is Mexican and rap shit on the radio.

I think he bought it to kill off what currently goes for conservative talk radio. Most of it, IMHO, is not conservative, but it does expose liberals. Ex., when I do listen to radio, it is the AM coming out of Austin. Whereas you can count all the conservative ideas on one hand and still have five fingers left, they do bash Biden and his policies. EVERYTHING in Austin is liberal, but they do have to make a profit. Liberal talk radio makes no money. But if Soros bankrolls them, no more liberal bashing. Kill off the talk shows, and the internet will be next.

The more I think about it, the more I don't think he will have any effect on the Mkt.
But then, like i said, I haven't listened to talk radio since rush died.

All left-wingers will occasionally state the obvious, but they will never be smart enough to vote Conservative. They are still going to shoot themselves in the foot and vote left-wing. We see it all the time with Bill Maher.
